Zobah or Aram-Zobah (Hebrew: אֲרָם צוֹבָא, romanized: ʾĂrām Ṣōḇāʾ) was an early Aramean state mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, which extended north-east of biblical King David's realm.[1]
A. F. Kirkpatrick, in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (1896), places it broadly between Damascus and the Euphrates.[1] It is thought by some to have extended from the Beqaa Valley along the eastern side of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains, reaching Hamath to the north and Damascus to the south, making it at one time a state of considerable importance.[citation needed]
